Credit cards in maiden and married name

I have had a barclaycard for a lot of years and in my maiden name, and I have been married for over 11 years and it's never been a problem , I pay it from my married name account and have balance transferred from my other married name cards. Just wanted to check its ok asa there were a few posts on here that worried me.

    Its fine it will be classed as any alias, some lenders dont like it though
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
